eXtremeRate Textured Green HOPE Programable Remap Kit for Xbox Series X/S Controller, Upgrade Boards & Redesigned Back Shell & Side Rails & Back Buttons for Xbox Core Controller

I was really excited to upgrade my controller and I can solder in my sleep. It didn’t even work. Complete waste of money.

Awesome kit to add back buttons to your controller, in an Elite-esque controller way, the installation process is not that hard, but requires some specific tools and basic knowledge in soldering, it takes somewhat 1 hour to be done (in my case, it took me 2 hours to complete my controller cause I also added two other ExtremeRate kits, one for interchangeable thumb sticks and one for trigger stops). Definitely if you want a cheaper option than buying an Elite Series 2 controller and you have the tools and knowledge, this is your kit to buy.

You need this. Dont waste your money on scuf. they break so much more easily than this. Most durable and usable controller buttons ive used to date.

The kit works perfect, it has installed alongside with the led kit without problems, the battery consumption is great. For me the upper buttons are a little difficult to press without readjust the hands ingame. The white of the shell is whiter than the blue xbox core controller. There is not textured grip

You can get a core elite for $110...

easy to install if you take your time. buttons are nice but soft white gets discolored to white almost immediately.

As other reviews mention, after installing this kit, several keys do not work. In my case, not even the remapping worked. (Its easy to install, but note I have plenty of experience working with Electronics/Robotics and soldering) But the worst is the support given by the seller. To make the story short, after installing the kit (and then removing it), the controller (Brand new controller that came with my Xbox Series S) stopped working. Of course, installing this voids your warranty, but I still brought the controller and the kit to an authorized Microsoft Repair center for diagnostics, after troubleshooting, the technician found the kit had a Short circuit (They seem to dont do QA to their products), the issue caused the main logic board on the controller to die. The short circuit was between 2 points on different points of the flex board, but they problem was somewhere on the traces.. so it was a manufacturing issue, so this company probably never test their product before shipping After contacting the seller, with diagnostic and the issue found by a certified technician, they turn very hostile, and after requesting to be accountable for their issue, they stop replying. (Also note you can only contact them via Social Media, not even an official email, ticket system or Customer support, they reply to you every 2-3 days). I have already contacted Amazon to conduct an investigation on this seller.

Had trouble at first but works great now…Installer error. The first time I Soldered, all of led’s on the test board lit up, indicating that all solder points were good. After putting it back together and using the controller, my R3 wasn’t mapping. So I took it back apart and retested it, and sure enough R3 and TP 15 we’re not lit up on the test board. So if anything isn’t mapping retest and fix solder points.

Used the test board after soldering and it would only light up 5-6 of them. So I resoldered the other points twice and tested it again and none of them lit up. When I pressed a soldered point, that point would light up. Im guessing the test board was faulty because after I assembled it, I was able to remap the sticks and the face buttons just fine. I really like the mod and theyre not as loud as the ps4 remap kit and shell from extremerate. Those were really loud. This mod would be better if the k3 and k4 buttons were as small as the top buttons. I removed the bottom ones as I like gripping it tightly and the bigger buttons got in the way. Also the back is a downgrade compared to the textured back on the original which gave more grip. I really dislike the soft shell as hand oils will go on them overtime and cause the color to fade

So I was nervous about trying to do this but figured why not. My Elite Series 2 stopped working properly and everything else is sold out everywhere. So I made my own pro controller. I used Extremerate products for the whole build and couldn’t be happier. I’ve never soldered before so if I could figure it out in one try I’m sure most people can. Plenty of videos on YouTube to show you how to do it. Great product.
